Pediatric Oncology
The aim of INCTR’s Pediatric Oncology Program is to improve the quality of care for children and adolescents with cancer in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). The objectives of the program are to:
- Strive to ensure children and adolescents with suspected cancer have an accurate diagnosis and access to treatment in the countries where INCTR and its branches work.
- Provide education and training in pediatric cancer and its management including supportive care, psychosocial support and palliative care through a variety of methods.
- Design and develop clinical research studies in selected pediatric cancers that are feasible, affordable and yet effective for LMIC.
- Establish comprehensive pediatric cancer programs in settings where there are identified needs.
- Establish programs within institutions to address specific aspects of pediatric cancer care where there are identified needs.
